House moves budget, substitutes supplemental budget, with a heavy reliance on the Rainy Day Fund
Chair Rep. John Zerwas, R-Richmond, guided House Appropriations to
approval of substitutes of a House budget bill and the Senate
supplemental budget bill this morning.
The approval process was fairly smooth,
although multiple members of the Texas State Employees Union reminded
the panel about low pay and insufficient pensions for state employees, pensions
even smaller than those currently offered to retired teachers.
